When MTV moved to its current location at 1515 Broadway, they lost the studio where Club MTV and The Grind were originally taped and episodes were taped on the roof of the building. The new space was small and inclement weather prevented taping. Noise ordinances prevented playing loud music while taping outdoors, so the show had to be taped without music and dubbed in later. Other installments went to Zuma Beach in California, Brooklyn, Miami and Hawaii.

Nies was replaced in 1995 by various guest hosts. Until it was cancelled in the summer of 1998, it was rebranded, revitalized with a sleeker look as The Daily Burn and was taped on the Jersey Shore. Michael Bergin and Tsianina Joelson co-hosted with DJ Skribble as the DJ.
